Beech take down 2010

What does passing the rope through a ring do? im not seeing it. thank

 

Well in that short video, not much! Its just an experiment for creating balances for more complex rigging. Passing it through the ring makes the ring grip the rope at that point, so you can effectively add slings anywhere on the rope, adjust them to where you want them to be and under load they should stay put.

 

I'll try some variations on it tomorrow.

i see, so its a good adaptable way to choice where to balance logs, nice idea

[Rupe]

Yes, basically thats it. Not fully tested by anymeans, it might well slip if not loaded evenly.

Great work rupe,Why did the tree come down?(sorry if you already mentioned it).

 

Some smooth rigging there too!

 

I like how your camera pics up the sound off the wood breaking off!

[Rupe]

Not fully sure why its coming down, it was surveyed and permision given for removal on the results of the survey. Some root decay etc. We'll see! I don't tend to get involved in that sort of thing, I prefer a third party decision and then I just tender for the work as requested.

 

Yes, the sound on the camera is not great but it pics up higher frequnecy noises ok, and not my voice which is a good thing!

So this was how we left it the other day.

And then tea break this morning.

The rigging set up is still working well but then I needed to move the pulleys round a bit to finish the back section over the road.

Plenty more video but won't be able to edit it for a few days yet.
